El Lissitzky's "Part of the Show Machinery" is the first poster of the groundbreaking Victory Over the Sun series. This large-format 62x91cm lithograph poster captures the revolutionary spirit of Soviet Constructivism and Futurism, making it an essential acquisition for collectors of Russian Avant-Garde art.
Lissitzky depicts mechanical figures through bold colours and striking geometric shapes. This series of prints responds to a 1913 futurist opera titled Victory Over the Sun. In it, the protagonists seek to destroy time by capturing the sun. The opera featured radically experimental music and scenes spoken in 'zaum,' an invented futurist language. Lissitzky saw a production in 1920 and was inspired to invent his own designs for the characters and stage setting. Conceived as mechanical puppets or 'automatons' rather than actors, the forms retain a distorted sense of human anatomy. This first print, titled Part of the Show Machinery, sets the stage for the entire radical narrative.
